I just bought my slayer, and I have a question that I hope someone can answer.

I am getting a lot of creaking from the rear sus. mount points. I checked and made sure everything was tight. I threw some oil in the joints, but nothing is working. The creaking still exsists, and it's getting louder. What do I do???

the bushings don't like oil. flush them out and if you need to, use a teflon based lube like Tri-flo. only a drop.
try checking the bushings on the shock. add a drop of tri flow to them, they tend to wear out faster.
